Rhondda Valleys Junior Rugby League. -+-+- Bright Outlook. The second general meeting of the above League was held at Coole's Restaurant, Forth, last week, and judg- ing from the enthusiasm displayed by the representatives, a bright and prosperous season is in store for the League, Mr. J. Austin, Penygraig, has accepted the office of chairman, and he presided at the meeting. About a dozen clubs were represented in all. It was decided to hold a Referees' Examination on Friday, Sep- tember 16th, at Coole's Restaurant. It was resolved also that the annual entrance subscriptions and guarantee monies must be paid on or before October 31st. A few points of information were given in the report of the Secretary of the Union of Junior Leagues' meeting held on the previous Saturday; Several rules have been revised and will undoubtedly prove beneficial to the various clubs. TKGHERBERT 12pts., PONTY- OYMMER 0. Treherbert Amateur R.E.C. gained their first victory of the season in their second match, which was played against Pontycymmer in fine weather at Treher- bert on Saturday. The gate was poor. After the kick-off, play was evenly con- tested for a while, neither side allowing the other much advantage. The supe- riority of Treherbert wag gradually asserted and the homesters rushed down the field to take up an attacking posi- tion. From this point of vantage Tre- herbert started passing tactics. Finding himself hemmed in with the ball in his Possession, George Lewis (wing) wheeled round sharply and dropped a lovely goal right under the noses of his opponents, thus giving his side a useful lead of 4 Points. th On resuming, Treherbert again took up -tec the aggressive, and remained on the attack throughout the remainder of the g,arnt; Passing among the home backs was seen at times, but it was far from effective. Eventually W. Williams (centre) ^'•ule a nice opening for his wing (Owen Williams)- and the latter scored with ease an unconverted try. Owen Williams made ^ei'al other attempts to cross the ^ontycymmer lino, but was 1111 sueccssfu 1 ? being grassed near the crease. Jim flambury, the home custodian, scored the j^st try of the game. He secured the Ml after a melee under the "sticks" J,11 the visitors' territory, and scored by funding several of the opposing players, *°r D. Williams to convert from a good Position. P.S. Owen and Lewis Roderick were e most useful of the Treherbert, for- The opposing custodians were

ASSOCIATION. TON 6gls., CHESHAM: TOWN 1. As the above score indicates, the wearers of the red had a very happy time on Saturday last, when the men from Chesham (Bucks.), a London League com- bination, were thoroughly trounced. This was Ton's second home Southern League fixture. Three new players were again seen in the home ranks. Bob Williams i(b.ther to Hugh Williams) took th1; place of Simms at centre forward, anil Mart-iil, of Aston Villa-cum-Reading, was given a trial at centre half, and Gregory of Manchester, was tried at full-back. Hudson, Ton's new fast right wing, war; on the injured list. For the first fifteen minutes of play, some very pretty football was witnessed, the homesters combining well. After the Reds had sized up their opponents, com- bination disappeared for goal shooting. All through the game, with a rare ex ception now and again, the homesters were on the aggressive, and many of the simplest shots imaginable failed to be negotiated through utter carelessness. Tommy Davies, perhaps, was the chief offender in this respect. Three shots in particular in some mysterious manner found their way outside the net. At intervals the visitors made strenuous efforts to stave off such a decisive beat- ing. Nicholls, one of the forwards, stood out as the finest player on his side. His effort which culminated in his scoring their only goal was a magnificent piece of work. Allman, for Ton, was in good form, and scored a lovely goal. Some I' excellent shots were also sent home by him in the second half. Roberts, on the wing, played better than usual, and scored twice. Tommy Davies, of course, found the net once, but should have done so at least three times. Appleby also scored, but he is not. the Appleby of the begin- ning of last season. Bob Williams, in the centre, was not a success in any way. Arthur Evans has improved somewhat, and also scored. Gregory, at full-back, has a fine physique and is a good kick, but appeared to be rather slow in his movements. Martin, at centre half, showed himself an honest worker from start to finish, and put in some useful work. He fed his 'forwards well. The visitors played a man short during a por- tion of the second half, but it is doubtful if his presence would have made much difference. The visitors' play in the last twenty minutes lacked spirit, and the Reds had some capital practice in shooting. MARDY lgl., CARDIFF CITY 1. Mardy shared League honours with Cardiff City at Cardiff last Saturday, and although our Cardiff contemporaries do not seem to think so, Mardy fully deserved their point. In the first few minutes of the game Mardy beat the Cardiff defence easily, and Lenaghan drove in a shot which just missed by inches. Shortly afterwards, one of the City backs "handled" in the dreaded area, but the referee unfortunately did not see this. Very soon again the Cardiff defence was beaten, and Summers worked himself into a splendid position, but shot over the bar. Up to half-time Mardy had the best of the game. W For about twenty minutes after half time the game was of a ding dong char- acter, after which the Citizens attacked hotly, and from a corner Ramsay, while unmarked, headed through. This nettled the" hillmen, and after some good shots from the Mardy forwards, one of which Husbands failed to hold, and Lenaghan rushing up, drove it home with a beauty. With but ten minutes to go, both goals were in imminent danger, and the game ended with play in midfield. ABERAMAN WANDERERS 8gls., MARDY ALBIONS 1. Mardy Albions played the postponed Trehafod Charity Cup match on Monday against the Aberaman Wanderers, and were unlucky to lose by two goals to one. While they did not show up very well in the first half, they improved vastly in the second, .and had very rough luck in not bringing the cup to Mardy. LLWYNYPIA 5gls., YNYSHIR ALBIONS 0. This match was played upon the Part- ridge Field on Saturday last. The home- sters proved to be the better side through- out the game, and were equally good IN their attack and defence. TON THISTLES 3gls., ST. OYNON'S 2. Tonyrefail were expected to play St. Cynon's on Saturday last, but they failed to turn up. However thanks to W. M. Evans, of Ton Thistles, they were not baulked of a game. The match ended in a win for the latter by 3 goals to 2. Edgar Davies scored the three goals for the Thistles, and Carter and Rogers scored one each for the Cynonites. m

The first of a, series of smoking con- certs under the auspices of the A.F.C. was held last Thursday in the St. David's Hall, where a most enjoyable evening was spent. The star turn of the evening was contributed by Mr. John Thomas, who is developing unexpected powers as a comedian. Solos were rendered by Mr. Wm. Jones, Mr. Oliver Morgans, and several others: while Mr. Ben Davies made a great hit with a song containing references to the Mardy, players. A step dance by Mr. W. Crandon was also much appreciated. The chair was occupied by Mr. Maltby, and Messrs. Lewis and Harris officiated at the piano. The secre- tarial duties were ably performed by Mr. W. J. Davies.

Sii on) presided at a meeting held at Lbuifair Hall, Penygraig, on Thursday evening last, the occasion being a presen- tation to Mr. George Evans,, the lay- re: der of the Dinas Mission Church, on hi? departure for college.

The action of a leading Welsh team in giving fixtures to a few of the Rhondda clubs was not only appreciated, but is doing much in the direction of reviving interest in the Rugger code in the Valleys. On Saturday, Cardiff sent a representative side to Treorchy to play the champions of the Glamorgan League. The visit of the Cardiff team created great interest, as was evidenced by the crowd, which numbered close on 3,000 at the start. Treorchy won the toss and elected to play with the gradient. After the open- ing stages, Tom 0. Jones executed some pretty work on the right wing, and Car- diff had to defend. Frank Woods, the visiting custodian, endeavouring to clear, his kick was charged down. Iom O. Jones initiated a fine passing movement, and Spiller ran over amid cheers with a fine try for Treorchy three minutes after the start. Daly James failed to majorise. Cardiff got away from; the kick-out, and a smart combined movement by the three- quarters carried play into the home 25, where a score was imminent, but Ewan Davies missed a pass from Holbrook when only a, few yards out. Treorchy retaliated magnificently, and Woods pluckily stemmed a forward rush. Cardiff dis- played cleverness generally, and Pugsley was prominent in the loose. Reardon eventually got over for Cardiff from a scramble near the line, and Woods failed to convert. Cardiff gradually found their level and kept the homesters on the defence. Morris eventually crossed and placed the ball behind the uprights. Woods again failed with the kick. Spiller made an ineffectual attempt to drop a goal, and soon after Ewan Davies scored Cardiff's third unconverted try. After the interval, Treorchy scored their second try, and Daly James added the points. After the kick-out, Treorchy were charged down, and play remained some time in the left corner. Daly James relieved the pressure, but _again Cardiff went back, and Oliver James crossed with a try, which Woods this time augmented. Soon after time was called. TREHERBERT ATHLETICS. The annual general meeting of the Tre- herbert Athletic R.F.C. was held at the, Bute Hotel last week. The Athletics will this season form a Seconds team to the Treherbert Premier XV. The team will play in the Senior Division of the Rhondda Valleys Junior Rugby League. The following officers were elected: Secretary, Mr. T. J. 'Peregrine; trea- surer, Mr. D. Bundock; captain (with option of picking his own vice-captain), Mr. T. Kinsey; trainers, Messrs. T. Edwards and Llew. Lewis. A strong com- mittee was also appointed. This team should have played its first match on Saturday last against Pontypridd 2nds at Pontypridd, but a telegram from Ponty- pridd on Friday evening cancelled the game,-much to the disappointment of the players and supporters. THURSDAY FOOTBALL, On Wednesday evening last, a meeting was called at the Temperance Hotel, Bute Street, Treherbert, with a view to form- ing a Thursday Soccer team in the dis- trict. The meeting was poorly attended and scant interest seemed to be taken in the project. It was pointed out that it was doubtful whether the Treherbert Athletic Syndicate would allow a Thurs- day Soccer team to play on the Athletic Grounds, Thursday being the chief train- ing day of the premier team. The move- ment thus falls through. FERNDALE R.F.C. The great winter game started once more on Saturday, when a trial match was played on the Darran Grounds be- tween Possibles v. Probables, and ended in a draw of 5 points each. There is a lot of young blood amongst the players, and all are very promising. The com- mittee will have a difficulty in choosing a team this season, each of the forwards, in particular, deserving a place. The forward line will be a warm one and will cause trouble to other teams of the League. They have amongst them Dai Lewis, Blaenliechau (late of Pontypridd), who was on Saturday undoubtedly the best player on the field. His score the result of pretty play. Other fine for- wards are Dan Morgans (Treorchy), a very hard and honest scrummager; Jim Price and D. J. Jones. Fred Diddiscombe (Treorchy) has thrown in his lot with Ferndale, and this will be an acquisition to the club. He is a clever player, and uses his head to advantage. Where the team lacks is at centre and full-back, but these places will soon be filled with capable men.
